Yes. Three different cables, although we've stopped using one because
it has a bent pin.

I put the 8000 on the esiop:
st0(esiop0:0:5:0): scsi message reject, message sent was 0x0
st0(esiop0:0:5:0): request sense failed with error 16
st0(esiop0:0:5:0): generic HBA error
st0: error 5 trying to rewind
st0: WARNING: cannot revert to default density
